Space Shanty

The title track, opening side one, with two named instrumental sections.
Khan, from Space Shanty (1972)

Wikipedia credits Hillage as writer, while a Strawberry Bricks listing, from a search summary, gives Greenwood a co-credit. It opens side one at 9:01 and includes two sections, The Cobalt Sequence and March of the Sine Squadrons. A review described it, via a search summary, as a sound collage with continuous rhythm changes, and Sputnikmusic praises its extended instrumental passages. We found no artist statement on what it is about, and no chart, video, covers or samples; we do not know which release our upload comes from.
